Burglary at Restaurant in North Seattle, Officers Arrest Both Suspects After Fleeing in a Stolen Car

Two men are in custody after they attempted to elude officers in a stolen car following a burglary at a restaurant in North Seattle this afternoon.

At approximately 4:53 p.m. officers responded to 911 reports of a robbery at a restaurant in the 2300 block of NE 65th Street. Preliminary investigation indicates that two adult male suspects entered the back door of a restaurant and stole an employee’s backpack full of personal effects. Several employees chased the suspects, who ran to a stolen vehicle and made their escape (this event was reported to police as a robbery).
